Summary of reviews related to the 'Accessible' categoryThe Duke of Cornwall Hotel offers a mixed experience for guests with disabilities. The staff are noted for their exceptional helpfulness, making stays more pleasant, particularly for those with severe sight impairments. The hotel boasts a fantastic central location with easy access to the city, making it convenient to explore nearby attractions like the Barbican. The premises are generally well-kept with the lobby and exteriors maintained to a very high standard.
However, there are several challenges for guests with mobility issues. While the hotel does feature a lift that provides access to all floors, the lift itself is described as small and in need of replacement. Additionally, navigating the car park and entrance can be problematic with narrow walkways, steps and a steep hill to access the rear entry, posing difficulties for wheelchair users.
Some rooms are accommodating, equipped with handrails in the bathroom and located conveniently on the first floor. Yet, other rooms lack sufficient accessibility features. Parking is limited and often difficult and issues with bathroom ventilation and towel size were mentioned, albeit minor in the scope of overall accessibility concerns.
For those using wheelchairs, the experience might be daunting given the narrow lift doors and the general layout of the hotel. Despite these issues, guests have found the hotel to be centrally located and easy to get around, especially those who stayed for extended periods and found it comfortable overall.
